Answer:
Explanation:
What would happen if a mixture of benzoic acid and cyclohexanol dissolved in CH2Cl2 is treated with aqueous NaOH solution?
Benzoic acid would dissolve in the aqueous layer while cyclohexanol would remain in the CH2Cl2 layer
The mixture Benzoic acid and cyclohexanol in solube in organic solvent CH2Cl2. Then add aqueous sodium hydroxide to the solution , so the Benzoic acid react with sodium hydroxide , it forms sodium benzoate , which is soluble in water (aqueous layer)
Where as the cyclohexanol remain in the CH2Cl2 layer
